Is this a state visit or just an official working visit?
Queen Rania is supposed to attend a conference in Kuwait which starts on the 27th. I wonder if she'll still attend if she has to go back to Jordan on the 25th. Or am I getting my dates crossed?

Love the half-picture of Salma, she's so gorgeous, mashallah but always looks a little bored!.

Yes she's cute,but I have the same impression,she always looks grumpy and bored.I think salma is a difficult kid,that's why Rania tends to take her a lot with her,I have also the impression that Hashem is the most easy and joyful of Rania and Abdalla's kids.

KUWAIT, Nov 23 (KUNA) -- Visiting Jordanian Queen Rania affirmed on Thursday the need to turn the dream of "Injaz" from a program that addresses a group of students into an embedded social culture and a mode of life.

This came in a speech delivered here by Queen Rania and ambassador of the International Injaz Company in the Arab world during the launch of Injaz -- which means achievement -- Kuwait.

She expressed her joy for returning to Kuwait where she lived and studied to take part in turning the Injaz dream into a fact and hoped that the program would end up with a generation that shoulders responsibilities in all fields. KUNA

When I read first something about the upcoming visit to Kuwait several days ago (in a short notice) it was called a state visit. Meanwhile I have myself some doubts. Probably it’s just an extended official (working) visit.
I think Queen Rania has to return tomorrow to Jordan because she is expected to be host to the Turkish prime minister and his wife.
The Kuwait conference is scheduled to convene during November 27-29. On November 28th will be the opening of parliament in Jordan, on November 29th the Bush visit (probably with Laura). Maybe she will just show up for some hours on the 27th in Kuwait again.

That sounds exhausting, having to go back to Kuwait for the conference barely two days after she'll end her working visit to the country.
And I'd been expecting the opening of parliament to take place soon, but not this week. Its like they've squeezed a whole month's engagements into one week. Infact all of November has been quite busy for them. I hope they get a chance to recover after it's over.
